htaccess allow two subfolders deny others - wordpress

I have Wordpress installed in folder named wordpress
public_html
|
|wordpress
|
|webapp
|
|other folder
|junk folder
and traffic is forwarded to that directory on htaccess file like below.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~webuser/wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~webuser/wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
If i want to access webapp folder i get redirected to wordpress. Is that because there is file index.php in the webapp folder?
I want to allow access to wordpress and webapp folders but not to other folders in public_html. How i can do that with htaccess?

Can I have another publicly accessible directory on Wordpress server?

I have a Wordpress site hosted by BlueHost. Is there a way I can create a new subdirectory under public_html that would not redirect to my Wordpress site? Do I need to modify the .htaccess file?
UPDATE:
Here's the .htaccess file currently:
# Use PHP5.4 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~user/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~user/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
The above rewrite conditional checks validate that URL rewriting should only be done when the requested resource is not a readable directory or file. So if you have your public_html laid out as such:
public_html/
wp-admin/
...
wp-content/
...
wp-includes/
...
my-sub-site/
index.php
...
.htaccess
index.php
...
Then you should be able to access the my-sub-site/index.php without problems, as it exists and is readable (validate rwx access rights if it is not).

.htaccess, WordPress and mod_speling

I've got a server that has in its root directory a bunch of subdirectories, one of which has a WordPress.
directory1
directory2
wordpress
directory3
All of these except for the WordPress were migrated from a Windows server to a Linux server which means that we've lost case insensitivity.
I want the WordPress to be able to serve a URL like http://www.example.com/~subdomain, so there's an index file in the root directory. I also have two .htaccess files, one in the WordPress and one in the root directory.
The following is the root directory's .htaccess.
This is where I'd like to put mod_speling's case insensitivity directives, but it conflicts with the rewrite rule.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~subdomain/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~subdomain/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Below is the WordPress subdirectory's .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~subdomain/wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~subdomain/wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I've tried using a symlink in the root directory to point to the WordPress directory's index.php. I set the symlink to be the DirectoryIndex but unfortunately it results in a lot of the links turning into 404s.
At this point I'm kind of stuck. Any ideas?

WordPress in root folder and vBulletin in subfolder

I installed WordPress in my host root folder and I installed vBulletin in a subfolder.
I changed my WordPress default permalink to "postname".
Now when I want to open forum (the vBulletin subfolder), it redirects to root folder (WordPress) and gives "not found post".
When I delete .htaccess file in the root folder (WordPress), the subfolder works fine, but accessing WordPress posts gives 404 error.
How can I solve this problem?
It is my WordPress .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
And this is the subfolder (vBulletin) .htaccess file:
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine on
# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^soft-game\.ir
RewriteRule (.*) http://soft-game.ir/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap|api\.php)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
You should install wordpress and vBulletin in seperate folders, because a sub-folder in the wordpress insallation means that it is part of wordpress, and it will not act as an unique entity.
Create two folders, name first as 'blogs' or whatever for wordpress and create another folder in the root and name it 'forums' or whatever you like for vBulletin only then the 404 error from wordpress will disappear.

access folder on root with wp installed

I have wordpress installed on the root . Now what i want that i will create one folder with the name of test and putt some files there and try to access it but i cant access the folder due to the htacess file i guess .
My htacess file is like this
RewriteEngine Off
SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 53
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Folder stucture is like this
./wp-content
./wp-admin
./...
./...
./bot
If it is an .htaccess issue, you can create another .htaccess file in your test folder and override the settings from its parent.
You may need to add the following to your parent .htaccess file in order to enable cascading:
AllowOverride All
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#AllowOverride

non-wordpress files in wordpress installation directory

I have installed wordpress in root directory. There is a file say test.html in same directory. I can not open this file www.mysiet.com/test.html with this url. When i open this file i get 'No posts found'.(I have coded wordpress's template on my own and this message is in index.php if no posts found). so my questions are:
How can i open an html file that is placed in root directory.
Can i create a new folder in root directory and install another wordpress site in that directory while root directory already have a wordpress installation.
Can i create a new folder in root directory (that already has wordpress installed in it) and place some files in that new directory and access them via my browser.
Thanks
Open your .htaccess in the root folder which once opened should look something like this
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress`
Then add this above all of that and place your directory in designated spot "replace
with subdirectory name" you can add as many subs as you like
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/REPLACE WITH SUB DIRECTORY NAME/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/REPLACE WITH SECOND SUBDIRECTORY NAME/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>`
Final Result should look like this if my subdirectory was named other
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/other/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress`
If I understand this you have wordpress installed on your server in its own folder, something like www/wordpress/. You also have a *.html file stored in www/test.html correct?
If I'm on track, then the issue is when you configured this you would have told it to use the wordpress directory. The best solution is to either move that file into the www/wordpress directory or into its own directory off that one, so you could have www/wordpress/test.html or www/wordpress/tests/test.html.
For question 2 I think what you are asking is can you do something like www/wordpress/ having a wordpress site, but then www/wordpress/wordpress2/ having another site. Though this is possible it isn't the best idea, why would you want to do this? You should have www/wordpress/ and www/wordpress2/. If the sites are connected in some way, you should look into wordpress mu, which is a multi site, which will allow you to run many sites all from the same installation.
Question 3 was answered above but yes you can do something like www/wordpress/tests/test.html.
You may need to change your .htaccess rules if you want to be able to access html files under your wordpress install.
You can check for File Permission.
